Why try Positive Visualization or Mental Imagery to improve our Mental Health? Positive visualization is one of the tools we use in Sophrology and Mindfulness to help you shift your life in a positive direction. The interesting thing about the mind is that it has a difficult time distinguishing between reality and imagination.
Whether we are really living a situation, or simply imagining it with a mental image, our body will stimulate the same neural networks, causing blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate to respond the same.
While visualization takes time to master, there are several ways to start benefiting from its effects immediately. With Sophrology and Mindfulness exercises we stimulate all your senses and teach you how to immerse yourself in a mental image so much that it appears real. You will learn to take your attention away from what you don't want (to feel and do), and focus on what you wish to experience. Visualization allows us to remove all the emotion surrounding negativity, and instead, place our attention on the positive. The negative will not magically disappear, but its impact on your life will gradually become way less important.
